Displayed in over 275 precious views of hand-tinted and sepia-toned postcards from the late 1800s through more modern times, Ocean Grove's history comes alive.Travel within its three natural water borders, the Atlantic Ocean, Wesley Lake, and Fletcher Lake to view the Asbury Park boardwalk alive with Victorian-era visitors, the first railroad station, and rare views of the magnificent Auditorium. See its early days of entertainment, including John Phillip Sousa and Peter, Paul, and Mary, as well as the patriotic heritage that rumbled through its streets. Whether looking at beautiful images of the special hotels like the Shawmont or the wide lawns of the Windamar, busy Ocean Grove streets and scenes will enchant you. |
